Garden Canna is a herbaceous perennial in the Cannaceae family native to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America and India. The plants are very large, growing up to 6 feet tall, with large colorful flowers and tropical-appearing foliage that varies in color depending on the cultivar. They are excellent choices for border groupings and pool-side landscaping due to their striking appearance and tropical feel.
